Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"What did you talk about with the giant prince?"

Just as Yakumo Shiro was returning to the island's base with full of thoughts and contemplation, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far above his head. Katakuri was seen leaning against a tree trunk with his arms folded, the moonlight shining on his back. His face wrapped in a scarf blended with the darkness around him, making it impossible to see his expression.

Obviously, the arrival of a giant cannot be concealed easily.

Although Loki himself had no intention of concealing it, and after fighting each other for a few days, it was not uncommon for the giants to become friends with each other given their temperament, but Katakuri would not let his guard down so easily. After all, Yakumo Shiro represented not only him, but also the entire Beasts Pirates behind him.

"Oh~ Katakuri, you finally woke up? I thought you were asleep there!"

Yakumo Bai said very calmly that his "heart network" which was always activated as if by instinct had naturally discovered his brother-in-law's abnormal behavior a long time ago.

In fact, this was something that Yakumo Shiro was thankful for. If the other party had not already known that his observation Haki had a very wide range and avoided him from afar, given the giants' loud voices, Loki's plan might have been heard by the other party before it even started.

Although, I just provided some small help~

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense. Are you planning to attack Elbaf again?

I don't care what you plan to do, but I just want Laura to be safe, understand? ! "

Katakuri jumped down from a tall branch and said this while staring straight at Yakumo Shiro.

"Well~ Why are you so nervous? Even I would stop and rest after having enough fun. Is it wrong to specifically ask that guy Loki to spend more time with his new wife?"

Yakumo Shiro spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Hmph! You'd better do so!"

Hearing this, Katakuri, knowing that he could not get any substantial information out of the question, immediately snorted coldly. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that with Yakumo Shiro's personality, it would be strange if the other party really revealed something.

He followed quietly, not only with the intention of gathering intelligence, but also with the intention of warning and warning - after all, the Elbaf and Charlotte families now have a substantial convergence of interests through this marriage!

"Haha~ Of course I would. After all, to some extent, I have contributed to the success of this marriage, right? In this case, I must see it through to the end. After all, it would be such a misfortune if a woman cried because of marriage~"

"..."

Hearing this, Katakuri fell silent for a moment.

He naturally knew why Laura's attitude had changed so drastically. Didn't she finally succumb to the mama's authority and the family's responsibility? (At least on the surface, that was the case)

Although family responsibilities are important, do brothers and sisters really need to "sacrifice" themselves to bear them?

Moreover, is mama’s authority really... unshakable?

"About women... Yakumo Shiro, now that things have come to this, I would like to ask you a question... How are you going to treat Smoothie? You bastard, you are not going to turn your back on me just because you want to take advantage of me, right?!"

After a long silence, Katakuri suddenly asked.

"Well... is there any need to ask? Isn't it obvious?"

To Katakuri's surprise, Yakumo Shiro answered without hesitation.

"Although he was my prisoner and you were lucky enough to bring him back last time, Smoothie has been marked with my unique mark. Do you think I will let my people stay in the enemy's camp and do nothing about it?"

"You understand, right? Katakuri, no matter what happens now, at least in the final scene, the Charlotte Family and the Beasts Pirates will have to compete for the upper hand. Either you lose or we perish. As for cooperation, it is only temporary.

So, believe me, when the time comes, I will personally take back what belongs to me!"

"...Tsk! You really are good at bragging! Yakumo Shiro."

He seemed to be relieved, as if he was dissatisfied with the other party's overconfidence, but for some reason, even though it was such an offensive remark, Katakuri felt a little relaxed. If that scene really happened, at least for Smoothie, it shouldn't be a bad ending, right?

"Hmph! Just wait and see! No matter what, I will stick to my principles to the end! For this, I will not hesitate at any cost!"

Finally, Katakuri said something like a vow in a deep voice, and then he raised his feet to leave. However, Yakumo Shiro suddenly said lightly:

"To some extent, Katakuri, being able to become a general star is a real blessing!

Otherwise, the wedding attendant might not have been Laura, but some other unknown daughter of Charlotte?

Well~ But being able to join the royal family of the world's most powerful country is another kind of luck, right? After all, this position may be an opportunity that some people dream of~

If such an opportunity is presented to you, what choice will you make? "

"!!!"

In just a moment, the family's "greatest masterpiece" froze on the spot, not moving an inch. A discovery he had never made before suddenly lingered in his mind, lingering for a long time...

------------

A few days later, at the port of Elbaf.

The wedding was over, and Big Mom had successfully obtained Harald's promise to help the Charlotte family in the form of mercenaries.

Elbaf used this opportunity to slowly export the abundant raw materials on the island to the sea through the Charlotte family, earning up to ten times the profit while introducing imported products such as medicines, technology, and intelligence at a very low cost...

As for Yakumo Bai, Yaoye and others, while experiencing the customs and practices of Elbaf, they also gained a preliminary understanding of the country's situation, and also planted a hidden chess piece that will be lurking for a long time. In the meantime, they also established a good relationship with the new generation of giants including Loki~

In general, all parties gained something, and finally successfully concluded this cooperation under the pretext of a wedding. So, the time finally came to return -

"Alas~ What a pity. No matter what Charlotte Linlin is like, at least this guy from the Beasts Pirates is still a good guy."

Watching the ship going farther and farther away, Geerz said regretfully that after a relatively short period of acquaintance, this powerful and beautiful nine-tailed fox left a deep impression on her, a unique charm that was different from that of Elbaf.

"Yes! This is the first time I've seen such a capable fighter. He can fight Lord Loki for such a long time with his bare hands without losing! He is truly a role model for our generation!"

The giant Rod also said with emotion and reluctance.

"By the way, isn't Brother Ethan in the Beasts Pirates? How about going to see him if you have the chance? Brother Helding is also about to prepare to rebuild the Giant Soldier Pirates!"

Goldbag suddenly said.

"Hmm... makes sense!"

"But what about Loki? Should we invite him? If we want to challenge the Beasts Pirates, Loki must be very interested, right? Besides, it seems that it's hard for that guy to find someone who agrees with him..."

"Um... let's talk about this later. After all, it seems that Helding and Loki can't get along well..."

"Well, they were apparently very close brothers in the beginning, how did it become like this now? Lord Harald probably wouldn't want this to happen, right?"

"By the way, if Lord Harald wants to pass the throne to Helding in the future, will Loki..."

"Hey! Keep your voice down! It's too early to talk about this now, isn't it? Given Lord Harald's condition, he can still rule Elbaf for a few more decades, right?

Now let's think about how to rebuild the Giant Pirates! Navigation, medical skills, ship repair... these are all essential skills!

Even if we go to the Inazuma where Yakumo Haku is, not having the skills of sailing in the new world is no different from committing suicide!"

“Eh…? Please spare me!”
